    M1010 Mystery wire near fuse box, pictures included

    Yup, it's not original and added by the previous owner ... or maybe the service unit that had it before the vehicle was released did something custom. The only option for you, unfortunately, is to trace it down ... Good luck.

    Whats wrong now?

    Sorry guys for not getting back to Mike quicker. Last few days I have been traveling and wanted to address the server slowness head on. I think the last set of tweaks will do it - Mike and I will keep an eye on it. Thanks for the patience. -graham

    Battery, alternator or glow plug issue...

    <cough> <cough> ... and who gave you that? Geez .....

    boiling batteries.

    I believe that is the glow plug relay (just on the otherside of the bulkhead) ... you will *experience* that for a few cycles ... maybe for a total of 20 seconds or so. That 'red' is the draw side, not the over-charging 'red' that you are also experiencing, right ? The alternators do have a...

    boiling batteries.

    14.7/8 is definitely the higher part of what I would consider safe then. However, across both batteries, it should not pass 29.6. Well, something is not all OK because your batts are frying, but it could a previous condition with them that is now surfacing. Try swapping the location of the...

    boiling batteries.

    Check the voltage-sense wire; it's the red wire out of the "two prong" that goes into the top of the alternators. This is the 12v feedback to tell the alternators regulator to keep it at the 14v or so. If it's not making the connection, your regulators are going to put out the max ... Also...

    kenny, i am with you on the heat! Ok, so I got until early Spring to get something in the truck ... if I can lay my hands on the of the rear-cargo HMMWV air units, that would be best idea I think for me. Option #2 would be going with somesort of danhard air, JCW, or transplant Air unit. -graham

    A/C ..... hot topic ;-)

    Yeah, I have seen those ... but looking for something to stay in the cab/cargo area. However. I liked how those HMMWV ones were used - if I can stay 'green' .... Thanks Kenny ... -graham
